Ryan Tannehill proving that he isn’t “saltwater” for the Tennessee Titans

Are we seeing enough from Tennessee Titans backup QB Ryan Tannehill.

After a win on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at home, have the Tennessee Titans found a quarterback for the future, or at least the short-term future?

I was thinking about the metaphor of being on a deserted island or lost at sea. You are surrounded by water on all sides, but as thirsty as you are you can’t drink saltwater or it will kill you even faster.

Similarly, when you are starved for a quarterback and there are backups everywhere with such low bars you can only buy in at your own peril because it could cause you to miss out on the real thing down the line.

For example, take the ultimate saltwater QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick.

He has won back to back for Miami and if they miss out on Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow, there are going to be some people that wonder about taking an elite talent like Chase Young with their first pick or trading down and amassing even more picks.

A process that is often referred to as the “Ryan Fitzpatrick Cycle”:

If you are Miami, you can’t drink that saltwater. You have to move Heaven and Earth to get your franchise QB when you are so close.
